Inspired bythis top(link to Style.com) from the Spring/Summer collection by J.Mendel, i've made another version of the good oldLydiapattern from Burdastyle ..... You can call this one of my first attempts in draping. I think a dress form really would have been a help ... but however ... since i don't have one i made it work as good as i could. I know that the draping in the original looks much better. But nonetheless, i'm really pleased with the outcome. And practices makes perfect ;-)

First i've finished the seams with my twin needle, but somehow i didn't liked it for the style of the top. So i've ripped the seams. Now the seams are unfinished, which i like much better. I will only finish the neckline by hand with invisible stitches. And at one or another point i will fixate the draping such that it will stays in place while i'm wearing it and don't have to pull it in place the whole time.
